Description - This handsome, semi-detached Georgian home is offered to market, chain-free, for the first time in over a decade. Understood to date to the late 18th Century, the property was originally constructed, together with its neighbour, as a single dwelling, but today offers some extremely well-proportioned and characterful accommodation of some 1,377sq.ft, over three storeys. At the rear of the house, accessed from the first floor living room, is a small enclosed courtyard providing invaluable outdoor space - a rare commodity in the centre of the village. This appealing home, with its versatile accommodation and generous room sizes, should appeal to young couples and growing families, as well as those seeking a bolt-hole, second home, intervestment or Cornish riverside retreat.

Accommodation - The accommodation is accessed on the ground floor into a hallway with flagstone slate flooring, from where there are doors to the kitchen/dining room and the shower room, plus stairs to the first floor with a useful under-stair storage area. The well-appointed kitchen is equipped with a good range of cupboards with solid timber worktops over, incorporating an integral fridge, wide Smeg oven and Die Dietrich 4-ring induction hob with stainless steel extractor hood over, and features a multi-pane bay window overlooking the river. The shower room comprises stylish contemporary fixtures, including a fully tiled shower enclosure, and would also double as a useful storage space for bikes, wetsuits or paddleboards. At first floor level, the living room contains a log-burner on a slate hearth and there is fitted shelving set into the exposed stone alcoves either side. Doors from the living room leads out to the courtyard area. Adjacent to the living room is a small third bedroom which may be more usefully employed as a study or home office. Ascending to the second floor, there are two very large double bedrooms and a family bathroom, fitted with a traditional white 3-piece suite including a timber-panelled bath. Each of the rooms on the first and second floors enjoys an elevated view of the river Tamar through multi-pane sash windows, with the bedrooms and living room additionally benefitting from traditional window seats.

Outside - The enclosed, decked courtyard can be found off the living room at first floor level. It provides invaluable private space for a morning cup of tea, evening glass of wine or somewhere to dine al fresco.
